CKUT sound wizard A. Fort is curating If You Got Ears for the month of September. Here’s a hint at what’s in store…….

Sometimes it’s hard to talk about certain things.
Like how you have days, those days…you know those days that you don’t want to talk about out loud. Maybe. To just anyone.Sometimes it’s easier to listen.

And then when you start to listen you hear the world around you differently. Maybe someone’s music is bleeding through their headphones on the metro, and it’s a song you remember from that time you drove around with that random guy you just met to get to a friend’s party. Or maybe you hear the metro, and how it’s booming. maybe you realize how the snow blanketing your street makes everything so quiet that you can hear your teeth chattering. Maybe you hear the fly buzzing around you relentlessly, in surround sound. And then there’s the rivers, parades, highways, dawn in a forest…

This september on If You Got Ears, we’re gonna cover so much distance, to get closer to ourselves. So often that is the beauty of listening: you get exposed to the life around you revealing itself and in turn, something of you gets revealed.

World: listen to Erin from Feral & Stray talk relocating, forming a band, recording in Montreal, and a preview of her new album. Plus, a down-to-the-wire chat with Dirty Beaches about jumping out of a second-story window to catch a flight.

Tune into the Montreal Sessions during September to hear all sorts of audio goodness from the folks at Pop Montreal. Today they’ll be kicking off their residency with a sampling of artists from this year’s festival — no matter where your music taste falls, there’ll be something for everyone. Catch it on the dial in Montreal from 3-5pm, or streaming online at ckut.ca.
